Conservation articles on Water issues

“The Science Behind Texas’ Climate Change,” with Jay Banner, UT Environmental Science Institute,  discussed Texas' unique challenge of being a climatic hotspot and population growth center, research on reconstructing past climate change in Texas (tree ring and speleothem studies), how past droughts compare with present and projected future droughts, their economic impacts, and his experience with the Texas legislature on climate adaptation bills

3. I can also suggest this link to the upcoming Earth Day Hot Science – Cool Talk on Barton Springs:http://www.esi.utexas.edu/outreach/hot-science-cool-talks/

4. Hot Science – Cool Talks has now been providing exciting science outreach for 100 events! We have 8 days left in our 30-day campaign to help sustain this program. Please check out our progress at https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/1518/wall. I’d appreciate it if Sierra Club members could share this with those in their network who are interested in supporting innovative STEM outreach programs.
